Hi All:
I'm the proud new owner of a 1984 Cheermen PT41 with twin Lehman 120's.
When I bought her I (Stupidly) spent all my time on the flybridge during the sea trials. Mechanics and surveyor were below checking everything out which came back A-OK. Great!
BUT now that I've spent some time down below I really notice how unbearably noisy it is and how much vibration there is underway.
Any suggestions? She has new motor mounts in the last 3 years, could they be too hard a not isolating; the whole boat shake and vibrates at lower rpm.
Would an intake silencer help? Does anybody make those?
Engine room soundproofing? IS it worth the money? How much does it help.
Any and all thought GREATLY appreciated by myself and MY WIFE!
Thanks
